SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwire - May 26, 2011) - Sancon Resources Recovery, Inc. (OTCBB: SRRY)
(or "Sancon"), a growing environmental services and waste recycling company with
operations in both China and Australia, announced today results for its 2011
first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Financial highlights for 2011 first quarter:
-- Revenue increased 25% to $3.85 million
-- Gross profit of $1.37 million, a gross margin of 36%
-- Net Income of $0.45 million, a net margin of 12%
-- EBITDA of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share.
Results of Operations - Comparison between the three months ended March 31, 2011
and the same periods in 2010
The Company generated revenue of $3.85 million in the 2011 first quarter,
representing $778,638 or 25% increase compared to $3.07 million in the 2010 first
quarter. Revenue from China operation increased $809,323 or 34% from $2.4 million
in 2010 first quarter to $3.2 million in 2011 first quarter. Revenue from Australia
operation has decreased $30,685 or 5% from $662,348 in 2010 first quarter to
$631,663 in 2011 first quarter. The increase in revenue in China operation is
partially because of the acquisition of the newly started waste paper and
cardboards collection business from June 2010.
Gross profit decreased $156,200 or 10% to $1.37 million in the first quarter
2011 from $1.53 million in the first quarter 2010. Gross profit of China operation
decreased $145,288 or 13% from $1.14 million in 2010 first quarter to $1 million
in 2011 first quarter. The increase of raw material in our waste paper collection
business is the main reason for the decrease of gross profit. However, our
management believes the gross margin will be increased along with the expansion
of the market in waste paper collection. In Australia, gross profit also decreased
$10,912 or 3% from $386,587 in 2010 first quarter to $375,675 in 2011 first quarter.
Gross margin decreased from 50% in the 2010 first quarter to 36% in the 2011
first quarter.
Net income for 2011 first quarter was $0.45 million, or $0.02 basic and diluted
earnings per share, compared to $0.57 million or $0.03 basic and diluted earnings
per share one year ago. Net income of our China operation decreased $0.67M or
11% from $0.61M in 2010 first quarter to $0.54M in 2011 first quarter. Net income
of our Australia operation decreased $0.54M or 845% from $6,384 in 2010 first
quarter to $47,556 for the same period in 2011. The high wage expenses and
consulting fee result in the decrease of net income in Australia.
Financial Position as of March 31, 2011
At March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6.5 million,
total assets of $11 million, working capital of $6 million and stockholders'
equity of $7.3 million. The Company generated $0.3 million in net cash from
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
"We are pleased with our continued increase in revenue in 2011 first quarter.
However, our gross profit and net income has dropped. That is mainly due to the
poor performance in our Australia operation and small scale of waste paper business
in China," said Jack Chen, Sancon's Chief Executive Officer. "We have recently
changed the management in our Australia operation and we are working hard to
turn it around in the next quarter. In China, we've installed additional equipments
which will triple our daily waste paper processing capacity. By expanding the
waste paper business rapidly within a short period, we can negotiate a better
pricing and increase our margin."
